Aaaand it's three am again, so of course the friendica.world instance is down again. ๐ Ugh such a bummer...
I wish this site would also offer a web based app, as it's more user friendly (to me) than just the website on my phone.
Are there android apps that can work properly with Friendica and it's many options? ๐ค I wonder... Never looked into that...
So I guess I'll be boosting some of my toots on here for now. Wish I could combine this instance with the other one and then it would be perfect for me. ๐ Of only I had money and knowledge of these things, I'd just run my own Pixy's Corner, as I blogged about a while ago.

Hands are getting a tad cold now so I'll wear the gloves for a bit. Arwen is enjoying her warm coat, as she's getting in all the sniffs. ๐
Catch you all later lovely folks!

Pixyโs Corner ๐ป
Days like these, where the world is going crazy bit by bit, I really wish I was more tech savvy! I would love to understand Linux better, especially since I got it to my laptop now. And, if I were smart enough, I would love to host my own little corner on the internet!If I had the funds and the wits, Iโd love to have a domain where I could host all the bits of the internet that I enjoy for myself. Of course Iโd go with the activity pub/FediVerse route, as Iโve been enjoying that so muchโฆ I have dreams, but I donโt have the means and knowledge, unfortunatelyโฆ Butโฆ What would I like? ๐ค
Well, it would be cool to have a domain named โPixyโs Cornerโ ๐! Iโd love to run several FediVerse services. I would make sure that Iโd have a stable PC with a decent hard drive system (also a backup one), so Iโd have enough space to host all my sillyness!
I enjoy the Mastodon bit of Fedi. Iโve recently joined my first โmisskeyโ instance and wow, those options are even more awesome! So Iโd definitely want some of that! ๐
I enjoy sharing pictures, so there should be a Pixelfed instance as wellโฆ
Video sharing is cool too! So Iโd need more space to host a PeerTube instance as well.
And, last but not least, Iโd love a blog site based on Write Feedly, as that also works with activity pub.
If Iโd had the space available, it would definitely be open for some friends to join. But Iโd make it for me first, and then Iโd try to federate with the other instances, so I could chat and share with folks on other instances as well. ๐
Back in the day, when Frontpage and message boards were still a thing, I used to host my own website and forum. I rented the online space and used a ftp program to connect. And somehow, it usually worked! I donโt think I could that nowโฆ
Ever since the fibro kicked in, Iโve struggled with brain fogs. Iโve lost a lot of why I knew. And things changedโฆ ๐
I still remember starting my first GeoCities website. Playing with those awesome animated images that became a hot thing, especially when MySpace became a thing to join!
Ow that reminds meโฆ If I could, Iโd also host a matrix instance so friends and family could chat safely through my serversโฆ ๐
Donโt tell me itโs easy! With my autism, I find it very hard to learn from the internet, especially since most tutorials are videos these days. And those are the worst for meโฆ ๐
Ideally, Iโd get someone face-to-face, and together weโd set up the kit and then get all the stuff running. Theyโd explain every little step, and Iโd be writing down every step Ling the way! And then when I need to do my first instance updates, that person would come over again, talk me through it step by step, and Iโd be making notes again. And repeat that until I know what to do and if feel confident enough about it.
But as I donโt know code, as I donโt understand protocols, as I donโt havr the funds for the domain and kit Iโd needโฆ I guess itโs just a silly dreamโฆ
Itโs just a silly dream to have my own โlittle sanctuaryโ on the wide web, to have a place to really call my own, to make it as weird as I can, and then add some more sillyness! To have โPixyโs Cornerโ, where I could blog, Toot, share vids and snapsโฆ That would just be awesome!! But I guess it will just stay a dream as I donโt have the knowledge, nor the funds, to make any of this possibleโฆ
I am very grateful for the instances that host my current sillyness, and I try to support them when I can. Which is really not often enough, as Iโve been dealing with loads of costs the last yearโฆ ๐ But when I can, I do try to chip in a bitโฆ
So, unfortunately, no Pixyโs Cornerโฆ But it was a nice thoguhtโฆ
